Book Description:
|
Although trees play an important economic and social role in many farming systems, until recently they have been neglected in both agricultural and forestry research. This book expertly surveys major advances in our understanding of tree resources, particularly in relation to the movement toward agricultural intensification. Research results from Asia and Africa are detailed in in-depth treatments of subsistence needs, market opportunities, and risk taking.
